If Potiphar
had believed his wife
Joseph would have been put
in the ground

not in the prison
/which was Potiphar's prison/
/probably below his house/

which he was then put in charge of
   /because Potiphar wasn't going to let/
   /a false rape allegation/
   /deprive him of his best help/

Potiphar knew Joseph was innocent
but was content to let him languish
/God knew Potiphar was spineless/
/but wasn't content to let him starve/

Sometimes
the concessions of weak men
may be all the justice
we can procure
but the God of our fathers
keeps sending dreams
